Diaz, Sandler top 2004 pay lists

London — Cameron Diaz is the world’s highest-paid actress, snatching the title from previous winner Julia Roberts, Guinness World Records said Friday.

Diaz, who will be 31 today, is listed as the biggest earner in the 2004 edition of the group’s record book, based on earnings of $42.2 million in 2001.

The reported earnings of Diaz, the blond star of the “Charlie’s Angels” films and “There’s Something About Mary,” are approaching the pay given to male actors in Hollywood.

The Guinness World Records Book lists Adam Sandler, 36, as the world’s highest-paid actor, based on a salary of $49.5 million in 2001.

Sandler’s films include “The Waterboy,” “Big Daddy” and “Mr. Deeds.”

In a ceremony Thursday, the 93-year-old Shaw handed over the instruments and accepted the James Smithson Bicentennial Medal for lifelong “contributions to American culture and music.”

Fuller continues Star revamp

New York — Bonnie Fuller made her latest move to make over Star magazine, hiring Jared Paul Stern, a gossip reporter and columnist at the New York Post, to be Star’s executive editor.

Fuller still is looking for a top editor to take over Star, which she is remaking from a supermarket tabloid into a mainstream glossy magazine to compete with People and Us Weekly, where she was the top editor until she left in June.

Stern said the goal was to raise Star’s profile among readers and to differentiate it from other tabloids.

At the Post, Stern contributed to the newspaper’s widely read Page Six column of celebrity gossip. He also wrote several columns for the paper.
